Gibb,
Thanks for doing these videos. It is a big plus to see what's going on at NAFA, the grading standards, and the proper fur handling tips. Good job!

enjoyed the video.

I bet it's "tinky" in there!

Thanks for the video. The side by side comparison was very good but the background noise made the audio hard to listen to.

Thank you Gibb, well done and good info for me.

Great video, thanks for the info.

Thanks Gibb, really enjoyed that! How ‘bout something similar with the Lynx Cats ?

I will keep cats in mind for next season.

Great Videos, please keep them coming.

Interesting!!
I had 2 coyotes a friend shot - made a pretty large hole.
I sewed them up but am sure they were the 2 that went for $3.00 ea.
After shipping and drumming, I might have made $1.00 apiece.
I definitely see the point - why even fool with them!!

Man - easy to see why those western dogs bring better prices!

Thanks Mr. gibb - good information.

It's really just a quick overview but I hope it gives folks a general understanding.

Can someone explain why the catalog starts with selects then the grades get lower then in the same section lower down in the catalog it goes back to selects and 1s again. In the western heavy catalog it was lot 227987 where it went back to selects.

Because of size and weights, it is a top down system. You go with your biggest and best so you see all the heavy skins big sizes than the semi weights next also you could have dealer goods in the catalog going up on their own which could see it change again.
You also have different sections that will see the catalog jump again.

Wow, those westerns sure are nice and fluffy.

Now if you teach them how to grade on the carcass, before the trappers waste their time skinning, scraping and boarding.

Great information, thanks for sharing.
